CASE 7130 3PT hitch issue

illinois1994 · Mar 4, 2020

I have a Case 7130 tractor...the 3pt hitch will go up but will not go down unless I have an implement attached to it. To unhook implement I have to manually pull the pins because the 3pt wont go any lower once implement weight is back on the ground.

I had 2 200+LB guys jumping up and down on it and it wouldn't budge. I hooked it up to a fairly heavy (maybe 5000 LB) 3 pt cultivator and the 3pt goes up and down all day long. I have unplugged/plugged in the draft sensor plugs and that doesn't seem to change anything.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Don't know much about them. I just got introduced to them last spring. If you look under that cover at the back of the right console there is a couple of knobs and they are supposed to be to set the drop for the 3pt. The speed and the height.
If I understood it right from just reading the cover there is a dip switch on the console by the power shift lever to the left it has to be in a set position for it to drop all the way down if you have the drop position set for like pulling a planter so it sets level. I could also be all wet on this. SO it is worth just what you paid for it.

Yes i have played with all of those switches/levers and they are all set to be in down position

You might do better to ask on NewAgTalk machinery forum. Lots of Magnum knowledge there. I had a 7140, but with no 3pt.
